HKS F Con-V? Awesome product, Walbro - Awesome product, do it. Do it.
Also as long as you don't overboost it a turbo system is supposed to be better for your engine since it doesn't drag when you're idling the way a SC sytem does -- you'll be fine! Just make sure you get a good shop to tune it, best of luck! I want to see a "I want 600 rwhp Turbo" post up in a couple months!

anyone have any new parts, or anything going on with there set-up. I know Wyatt is trying to sell off a lot of his things, and brotha version may be going boost(do it!).
It's seems my parts caught a lot of interest and both my test pipe, and header have been sold. I am going to put up my act clutch kit, and toda flywheel for sale soon because I will be going back to stock for some time. The thing that makes me sad is that I never got to run my car with my set-up. although I had no doubt I would have seen some good numbers.
On a sde note I am looking for a local shop(maybe burns stainless) who may be willing to build us s2ki members a special group buy of a header similar to my hytech header design. I wonder if they will do it and who may be interested. Wish me luck.

Louie - 320whp on 8lbs isn't that great. Plus a lot of it is in the tune, turbo size, piping size, etc...
I would have the guys at TF tune my car if I went with a Turbo, for sure.
If you get an HKS EMS, you will need to have some other shop in Tacoma tune it - I forget the name, Turbo something I think. They are the only authorized tuner in the area.... And I don't know reputable they are, let alone with a turbo on an S2000.
I'd get AEM if I were you, to play it safe. And go with a conservative tune at 6lbs and hope for 290+whp. No need to find limits on a custom turbo kit if you don't want to blow the engine.
Well, my setup is almost complete.
Alex duct - AUT plate - gutted stock box - K&N filter
Spoon TB
Hondata Gasket
Js Header
T1r 70r v2
Buddy Club ECU
(oh... and 4.56 gears, muahaha).
Tuning and final installations will be on the 28th at AJ-R.
I will dyno early May, I hope.
My exhaust (total) will be the best possible setup, besides for Hytech. Intake is pretty good, ECU is good, and the Gasket/TB might help a tidbit.
Louie, go for the damn turbo.
Hvrrz - sorry to hear about the tear down. But at least a stock S2 is still fun! and you might build again in the future.
Evan - sounds like you have a killer setup in the making! But what exhaust is that? GO single!!!
Stopping power? Good call. Stoptech BBK: check.
Which plugs were those? How much were they? Are they the same temp as stock? Im thinking of getting new plugs... But I don't have enough power yet to get 1 step colder.

version do what you gatta do, your NA s is a beast as it is. Besides you can go boost whenever you want....I wanna see you hit the 230whp NA first
Trip it sounds like a nice set-up. Probably going to see some nice numbers. and why sell the rims they look great on the car?
Wyatt it's all good, your right even a stock S is going to be fun to drive. You know I'll still be kicking ass even stock
. I will go back to modding soon enough. I have another year and a half before the car is fully paid off, plus my warrenty should expire by then. I'm going to work on the body till then, but once it's done it's time for lovefab.
